nonsensical

 


one week the town is asking residents and businesses to conserve water. 

the next week the town is upgrading to self-watering hanging flower baskets.

what are the town's priorities? 
  • conserving water? 
  • flower baskets? 
  • taxes that residents and businesses pay to the town? 

is spending tens of thousands of dollars for flower baskets, water, horticulture foreman and workers, overtime, etc. a good use of the taxes that residents and businesses pay to the town? 

does any of this even make sense?

internet trolls

"What Are Internet Trolls?

If you’ve been on the internet for any period of time, you’ve likely run into a troll at some point. An internet troll is someone who makes intentionally inflammatory, rude, or upsetting statements online to elicit strong emotional responses in people or to steer the conversation off-topic. They can come in many forms. Most trolls do this for their own amusement, but other forms of trolling are done to push a specific agenda." 

James Webb Space Telescope & Astronomical Discoveries is a facebrook group that heralds the scientific achievements of this magnificent scientific instrument. 


The JWST facebook page reads: "This page is for those interested in learning and maybe even teaching someone something about astronomy, astrophotography. This is a science page so… let’s keep it that way.
Trolls and habitual offenders will be blocked. Zero tolerance!
I’m super excited at how popular this page has become. Help us keep community standards and this a safe place to learn and post your achievements both." 

and yet the group continues to allow flat-earthers to mock their posts!

why?

I can't tell you why because I don't know.

impotent government

a great nation with an impotent government. that's the USA.

another school massacre. innocent children brutally murdered with assault weapons by a deranged individual.

republicans don't get it. some democrats too. they're so afraid that they're going to lose their wacko base that they refuse to ban assault weapons. disgusting cowards with minds of mush.

our government should be ashamed.

trump, stormy daniels & melania

trump and melania were married in 2005. Barron was born in 2006. Trump and his surrogates paid $130,000 hush money to silence Daniels about an affair she says she had with Trump in 2006. Trump's spokespeople have denied the affair and accused Daniels of lying. On January 31, 2023, Trump appeared to admit to the affair on Truth Social. 

what a guy!!!

truth--like looking for a needle in a haystack

the truth is getteing harder and harder to find these days. the internet, social media, "talking heads", politicians, tv news, etc. 

the internet can be a valuable source of information--if one restricts their searches to reliable sources. 

BEWARE of social media, those who are trying to sell something, self-proclaimed experts, etc. 

STICK TO reliable sources--you just might find the truth.

window dressing

the republican party is a lot like the NFL--LOTS of window dressing--but people know that the false front outside is not the same as the inside. being a political party, the deception of the GOP is much more evident than the NFL--yet both are the same--rotten on the inside.

end of the gop?

the worst president in US history may not have brought down the government, but most likely he's brought down the republican party. 

trump not only fanned the flames of divisiveness within the USA, but he also fanned the flames of divisiveness within his own party--a split is inevitable. one remnant will be the white supremacist party and the other remnant will be whatever is left of the old gop is called. with the split neither of the two remnants will ever win another national election.







mcconnell's book will be a best seller.

boris and natasha

today is the one year anniversary of the assault on the US capitol. the insurrection failed. boris and his miscreant followers failed to topple the government. many of the perpetrators have been arrested and charged. some have pleaded guilty and are incarcerated. 

what about boris? during the 2020 campaign for his reelection boris said that he may have to leave the country if he lost the election. time's a-wastin', boris.

perhaps boris should seek ass-ylum from his good buddy putin--or maybe his other good buddy kim jong-un. and take his miscreant followers with him. 

in any event, good riddance to bad rubbish.

egregious

Parents of Michigan boy charged in Oxford school shooting | AP News 

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A prosecutor filed involuntary manslaughter charges Friday against the parents of a teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school, saying they failed to intervene on the day of the tragedy despite being confronted with a drawing and chilling message — “blood everywhere” — that was found at the boy’s desk.

James and Jennifer Crumbley committed “egregious” acts, from buying a gun on Black Friday and making it available to Ethan Crumbley to resisting his removal from school when they were summoned a few hours before the shooting, Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said.

“I expect parents and everyone to have humanity and to step in and stop a potential tragedy,” she said. “The conclusion I draw is that there was absolute reason to believe this individual was dangerous and disturbed.”

an ugly incident

 Strasburg Police investigating a hate crime after a house was vandalized   

thank you, WHSV, for your factual report. we don't get many of those here in strasburg. 

despite politicians and others who may wish to put a lid on ugly incidents, and if unsuccessful, attempt to put lipstick on the pig, the fact remains that it's still a pig. 


I'm puzzled by the statement from town police that "they will continue to investigate leads". does this mean that the police are relying on leads from the public to investigate trespassing and vandalism in this case? or are the police investigating these crimes independent of whether or not they get leads from the public? 

other questions:
  • will law enforcement vigorously investigate this crime? or will it be "handled" with "a wink and a nod"?
  • will the perpetrator(s) be identified and charged? 
  • will they be tried? 
  • will they be sentenced? 
  • if so, will the sentence be "a slap on the wrist"?
answer: time will tell.


are racists, bigots, homophobes and white supremacists good people? trump would have you believe that they are by the remarks that he made concerning the unite the right rally in charlottesville on august 12, 2017 during which Heather Heyer was killed. trump said that there were "fine people on both sides". the facts are that there were racists, white supremacists, a murderer and other violent people on one side. these aren't "fine people".

The same is true of january 6 when violent criminals stormed the US capitol destroying property, threatening lawmakers and assaulting, injuring and murdering police. these violent criminals are not good people.

the facts are that as long as racism, bigotry, homophobia, white supremacy, violence and murder are not roundly condemned publicly, then people in the USA and around the world will think that the USA tolerates racism, bigotry, homophobia, white supremacy, violence and murder. 

citizens have the responsibility to speak the truth publicly.
